There are a lot of other groups this applies to. For example, the current Korean outbreak was started by a religious member who refused to be quarantined. The US’s response is being lead by someone that doesn’t believe in science. If you w

This is interesting, but where do you draw the line? I mean, even showing the specific data from your example above, you may have long periods of time where the unvaccinated proportion of the population (take for example Australia's No

every health system has flaws. You're talking about one of the most complex components of any economy - 10% of spending in Australia, up to 20c in every dollar in the US. there are no simple fixes. > If it's so important to vac

The disease of the modern age is the belief that ‘my opinion is better than your knowledge’. An anti-vaxer is standing in the way of true knowledge. Opiate prescribing was driven by pharmaceutical interests and lobbying, as well as a misgui

Yes you can do this with google maps - have been able for a couple of years. Hit the hamburger then ‘offline maps’ and it will download your geographic region. Great for international travel as it will still pathfind

The interesting bit here is that literally everything you do or eat affects this. For example your diet is going to get broken down into micronutrients and for a lot of these molecules, while they are circulating, there are a lot of recepto

The source and year of the quote I took from the guardian article I referenced. I’ve got no idea what you mean by ‘long before’, unless you somehow Switched what I was talking about - my point is exactly that the employees were discussing t

Except, the quote you’re referring to was dated 2018. The 737 MAX started operations in May 2017. So the comment was after the plane was regularly flying, and people on the inside were STILL joking about its safety. (0) https://w

The danger with this type of response is that it’s perfectly reasonable, but it’s also sociopathic. I’m an emergency room doctor (part of the time). Due to the advantages I had of birth, gender, country of origin etc, I live a great life, m
